COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONAfter the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise his 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the first Father’s Day on June 19th, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established it as a permanent day of national observance.

Dad’s Little Helper Black IPA is deep mahogany in color with roasted malt and hop aromas and dense creamy head. It enters the palate with intense hop flavor and coats the tongue with a rich maltiness from the Rogue Farms Risk Malt.

Poured a dark brown body with a quick fading average sized light beige bubbly head. Aroma is hoppy with dark malts and a hint of coffee, light citrus notes. Flaovr is a great combination of malts and hops with citrusy yellow grapefruit and earth. Medium to fuller bodied with stronger fizzy carbonation and a slight lingering bitterness. Pretty good all around and surprizingly good

It pours black with a brown head that leaves plenty of lacing. It has a sweet smell combined with roasted aromas. There may be a bit of nuttiness to the aroma combined with spicy pop almost like raisins. There is a combination of citrus with roasted malts that combines to make a fairly bitter finish. It has lively carbonation as well.
